Direct to Garment (DTG) Inkjet Printing | Forum profile

Since mousepads do not get washed I would recommend using the regular white ink pre-treatment and then doing a "hover cure" on the printed mouspad instead of direct contact. This will minimize the flattening effect you often get when applying pressure and the white ink pre-treatment will keep the colors up on top of the pad. Hope this helps.

We do stock all the parts for the Blazer printers - as well as parts for many other printer brands. You might also want to consider a refurbished Blazer which will come with a warranty included. There are thousands of T-Jet printers out there - the largest number sold of any brand. It's a strong market for us for service, support, parts, and inks and one we intend to be in and grow for years to come. Harry Equipment Zone

thanks don and everyone else who replied and offered tips, hints and help. it worked. they are coming out a lot better. i have to perfect how i spray them (they certainly act differently than a shirt that lays still and flay!) fortunately, the ones from best blanks are inexpensive enough to learn on!

I AM a Yank...and proud....but thanks for the regional lesson! Dan doesn't want to hang out with us (well, you anyway), so you get wings, I'll get brew.

Don't forget Mimaki I believe they are all epson based except for those 3

Thanks for the posts guys. I think I'm going to use mostly plastisols. But have a inkjet system ready for custom work and emergencies. Thank you all for the help.

WOW! I can't believe how quickly you all got back to me! Mark got me going, the epson was on usb 1 and the powerRIP was on usb 2. I knew it was something simple. THANK YOU! I purchased used so there was no training. I was handed running shoes as I learn to crawl. I will get it. I will look for the manual on the Hard drive. Thanks for the warm welcome to the forum!

I really appreciate the input. I have heard some pretty good things about the new blazer express. My next question is, if it can be had at lets say half of retail would it be worth buying? Would I have enough cash cushion to self warranty it so to speak? or should I just as the say "fuh get about it". The package includes the new printer, quite a bit of ink and supplies, an auto pre-treater, a press and will pay for training...

I know there are silks/cotoon fabrics with paper backing for pigment/dye ink printers which people use for scarfs ect. I got doubts though that it will last that many washes without a treatment of heat

Thanks! I "most of the time" run them through our big dryer then a short time under the press. I think it is just the nature of the DG printer.
